When Stroke Mimics Peripheral Nerve Injury: A Case Report of Isolated Wrist Drop.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Isolated wrist drop as a presentation of stroke is uncommon and may pose a diagnostic dilemma. We present a case of a 65-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes who presented with sudden-onset weakness of the left hand and inability to extend fingers, without any other focal neurological deficits. Noncontrast computed tomography of the head was normal. However, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed an acute ischemic infarct involving the right frontoparietal and occipital lobes. A diagnosis of isolated left-sided wrist drop secondary to acute ischemic stroke was made. The patient showed clinical improvement with antiplatelet and statin therapy, along with physiotherapy, on follow-up. Although rare, isolated wrist drop may be a manifestation of stroke, and clinicians must remain vigilant to avoid diagnostic delays and to administer appropriate treatment in a timely manner.
